When you want to change the attenuation again, you have to repeat that proce-
dure. Plus, almost the whole time, the result displays are blocked by a dialog box.
5. (...)
Example: Steps necessary to change the attenuation when you have assigned
that parameter to the fast access knobs
1. (If the knob carries more than one function:
Press the fast access knob repeatedly until "Att" appears in the interface to config-
ure knobs.)
2. Turn the fast access knob to increase or decrease the attenuation.
When you want to change the attenuation again, simply turn the knob. Plus, you
are able to see the results all the time.
Note:
The parameter stepsize of the knobs is the same as if you were using the
rotary knob.
When you are using the R&S
ESW for the first time, each knob carries a predefined
function. These predefined functions differ, depending on the application you are using.
For example, in the receiver application, one knob changes the attenuation and the
other changes the measurement bandwidth. However, you can substitute these prede-
fined functions. So basically, the fast access knobs do not carry a specific function.
If you want to have access to other functions, you can configure the knobs to do things
as you like and assign functions to them (more or less) arbitrarily.
Assigning functions to the fast access knobs
1. Tap one of the interfaces to configure knobs in the user interface (depending on the
knob you would like to configure).
The R&S
ESW opens a dialog box with three tabs. Two tabs allow you to configure
each of the fast access knobs. The third tab allows you to configure the "Fast
Access" display which works similar to the fast access knobs.
(You can access the "Fast Access" display via the SmartGrid )
